Damn, I was too zealous on my inbox clearing and skipped that one, sorry!
(and ofc in the meantime Mike and I went down separate rabbit holes).

The old CONFIG_PREEMPT* would have to remain somewhere in the menu entry
(e.g. "legacy" preemption mode selection?), but other than that it seems to
work with this kind of structure:

choice
        prompt "Preemption Model"
        default PREEMPT_BEHAVIOUR if PREEMPT
        default PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY_BEHAVIOUR if PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY
        default PREEMPT_NONE_BEHAVIOUR

This however doesn't solve Mike's concern wrt deselecting PREEMPT_RT to
flip PREEMPT_DYNAMIC and vice versa...
